Lovely little beach in walking distance (2 minutes). Main Sea Ranch trail is directly behind the house and met many walkers while relaxing on the deck. Hot tub is private and house had everything a family needs in a beach house; extra linens, barstools, sand toys, BBQ, fireplace, games, puzzles. Perfect family beach house! ##### Michael B.

Wonderful location right on the bluff trail, with long walks possible out the door. Furniture and fittings are dated, and could do with upgrading. Towels very nice, sheets not so much - they were old and worn. Two full bathrooms on the main floor and another in the loft was nice. Kitchen fairly well equipped but many of the pots have seen better days. Loved the hot tub under the stars. ##### Barbara R. Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Ana B. May 5, 2021 Liked: Location #### Reconnecting at Sea Ranch We were looking for a place to reconnect with the family that has been distanced for over an year. Sea Ranch is a great place for that. The house accommodated the five of us comfortably and the house seemed to have been cleaned before we got at the place. It is not convenient however, to have to go to Gualala to get the keys of the house, so I suggest that you place a box with a code at the property so we don't have to do the additional driving back and forth for just a key. There were no directions if the house would have sheets and towels and the agency never responded to our inquiring about it. I packet all of those and in the end we didn't need it because the house has these available for renters. So I suggest that you update the website with this type of info. We were prepared to do a barbecue with the food that we took with u, but the gas grill had not been maintained, and not only was very dirty, the gas was empty. I contacted the agency but because we only noticed it in the afternoon, I ended up having to cook everything at the oven. Another issue was with the fire place, it had a lot of logs to be used, and the house has instructions for using the fire place, but there were no matches. There were already comments about this from previous people renting the house but it remained not provided. The Sea Ranch condominium has a swimming pool and tennis courts but due to covid only the people that lives in there, were authorized to use these facilities. That was a little estrange. My daughters wanted to play tennis but because of these Covid regulations on the condominium, they didn't allow them to use the courts. There were simply nobody at the courts and they not only were full vaccinated, it made us wonder to who they would be actually passing covid to? We had passes to use the facilities with us that the agency provided with the package, and using a open court goes with the level of openness of the County, but they remained unacessible to them. Anyway, we had fun to be together and at Sea Ranch, which is a beautiful place. Not sure if I would go back though. ##### Ana B. Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paul M.

The place has a great layout and is as depicted on the website. Kitchen has all appliances and tools needed for preparing home cooked meals. Hot tub on/off button was jammed but can be easily operated via circuit breaker per owner guidance. Remember to bring matches and lighter and fire starter for the pot belly fireplace. Kindling and wood was provided. There is a store nearby in Gualala anyway if you need anything. Windows and doors had screens installed. Overall very good. ##### Paul M.

We loved the coziness and it is exactly what we wanted. Quiet and secluded. The beach is a 10 minute walk from the house, and plenty of drivable beaches close by. The mirrors in the master bedroom were awesome. Netflix and other streaming services wete great too. We had a great time. The only thing I would suggest is the hall door to master bedroom needs adjusting. The living room layout. It was perfect for 3 of us but with more it might be difficult to all watch a movie together. It was still perfectly perfect for us. ##### Jeramie G.

Apr 5, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect house for family trip Albatross House was the perfect size for our extended family group of 4 adults and 2 kids. Location was amazing - the Bluff Trail that leads to spectacular ocean views is literally right behind the house and it was a real treat to be able to go running along this trail every morning. The Sea Ranch library is also nearby, in the Ohlson Ranch House, and we visited regularly. While the house is a little old, it is very clean. The carpet is new and the hot tub and range are newer than shown in the pictures. The hot tub worked well and we used it daily. The kitchen is nicely equipped, but one thing to know is that no consumables are provided, not even coffee or cooking oil. However, it's easy to buy supplies at the supermarkets in Gualala 10 minutes away. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would definitely stay here again. ##### Huat Chye L.

It's close to trails that get you to the bluff, a short walk to the pool, has lots of sunny windows with views and we loved the hot tub and deck. The one thing to keep in mind: bring your own pantry basics. There was salt and pepper but no oil, no sugar etc. Also no alum foil or plastic wrap. ##### Jessica S.

Jun 10, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Escape from the heat My husband and I stayed at the Albatross house for 5 days and thoroughly enjoyed every amenity the house offered. First, the house is located on the ocean side of State Route 1 where there are many walking trails for a morning walk. Secondly, the house is fully equipped; the kitchen is well stocked for those of you who prefer to eat dinner in while on vacation. Every morning, we enjoy our morning coffee on the patio and be spied upon by deer, sometimes mom and baby or other times, a group of bucks. Third, if you are a golfer, there are many courses…The Sea Ranch Links Course, Little River Golf (about an hour drive north) and Northwoods Golf Course down by Guerneville. Mendocino is just north of Little River; the quiet town is a perfect way to wander through art shops, boutiques, go wine tasting and have lunch. Also Point Arena, a former lighthouse, is also nearby. If you are not familiar with Highway 1, please note the road is winding, but the views are spectacular. Lastly, the hot tub is a splendid perk, a wonderful way to relax after a day of golf or sightseeing. We will certainly return to the Albatross house, especially to escape the valley heat! ##### Anne D. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tracy F.

Jan 3, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Location was great! We all enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back. Easy to book just didn’t realize that the key was in town and not at the property. Overall a great experience! ##### Kimberly E. Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2021 ### 6/10 Okay #### Tanja D. Nov 4, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Check-in #### Good location…..but The location of the house and the openness of the living space was great. You are next to walking path which is very convenient and we used it every day, even in the rain. We came from Bay Area and had to drive an extra 9 miles into town to retrieve the key and then back. This seemed a bit odd in this day and age where a lock box and code could avoid that inconvenience. For people driving that long windy road, 18 extra miles can be an added pain. No one wants to start their trip home adding 18 unnecessary miles on a windy road. The kitchen was very sparse and offered the bare essentials. Since we prepared all our meals in, this became apparent right away. The wood was not covered so we were not able to use it in the wood burning stove since we arrived in the rain. There was a leak in the roof that puddled on the dining table. Maintenance came and caulked the outside in the middle of the downpour. That was impressive but unfortunately it continued to leak. There was also a wet spot in the floor by the slider that grew as the rain increased. It appears there are some issues of water wicking under the floor. We all resorted to wearing shoes in the house to avoid it. I believe it could use attention. The hot tub was great. ##### Tanja D.
